Native Multi-host networking
There is a lot to talk about the native multi-host networking and the overlay
driver that makes it happen. The technical details are documented under https://github.com/docker/libnetwork/blob/master/docs/overlay.md.
Using the above experimental UI docker network
, docker service
and --publish-service
, the user can exercise the power of multi-host networking.
Since network
and service
objects are globally significant, this feature requires distributed states provided by the libkv
project.
Using libkv
, the user can plug any of the supported Key-Value store (such as consul, etcd or zookeeper).
User can specify the Key-Value store of choice using the --kv-store
daemon flag, which takes configuration value of format PROVIDER:URL
, where
PROVIDER
is the name of the Key-Value store (such as consul, etcd or zookeeper) and
URL
is the url to reach the Key-Value store.
Example : docker -d --kv-store=consul:localhost:8500
